The pop singer-songwriter purchased the humble abode in 2019 at a price of $2.4 million. However, much has occurred in the recent years of Halsey’s life including news of a baby with producer Alev Aydin. Mirroring the new addition to her family, she has also expanded her real estate assets. Her most recent purchase earned her a $10.2 million property in Calabasas, CA. The home, previously owned by former One Direction star Liam Payne, spans 9,700 square feet and is equipped with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, pool, gardens, and a recording studio. With the new Calabasas residence in Halsey’s possession, her previous Sherman Oaks property is now for sale.

The 1959 Sherman Oaks home, a design envisioned by architect Richard Dorman, includes four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms spanning 2,425 square feet. The serene and secluded home is set on a half acre of land surrounded by lush green landscaping. Stepping inside the property, it opens to a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace leading to the yard and pool. Further into the home presents a sleek kitchen, dining area, family room, office, detached recording studio, and spacious patio. The master suite included a bathroom with dual vanities and sliding glass doors leading outside. Guest bedrooms also offer access to the outdoor space and each room features floor to ceiling windows with a gorgeous view of the surrounding greenery.

As the Sherman Oaks property is placed on the market, the house has been stripped of Halsey’s personal touch and is ready for a new owner.

Fame came unexpectedly to this rising star. As the first person to go to college in his family, Lil Nas X always felt pressure to be successful. He eventually found himself unhappy during his time in college, leading him to drop out. He began making music after moving in with his sister – ultimately kickstarting his successful career.

The home, which is located in Sherman Oaks, California, was built in the 1950s and was recently remodeled inside and out to reveal a modern and sleek look. The 2,580 square foot property holds four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.

Upon arrival, the outside features floating concrete steps over a waterfall that leads into a pond. Inside the property are open living and dining spaces, featuring a fireplace and glass pocket doors that open out to a balcony, revealing panoramic views of San Fernando Valley. The kitchen includes a stretched island and top-of-the-line appliances such as two ovens and a wine fridge.

Each room within the home includes an ensuite full baths and the master bedroom includes a walk-in closet, custom built-ins and its own a private balcony. The master bathroom also has dual vanities and a soaking tub. Two of the rooms have been staged as a gym and office space. The property also includes a secret room.

The outside of the property has a spacious wooden deck, and a raised pool and spa.

Lil Nas X found his rise to fame with hit single, “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus. He also released a children’s book titled, C Is for Country, adding to his list of accomplishments as a best-selling author. The Grammy-award winning musician was also titled one of the 25 most influential people on the internet in 2019.

Haute Residence: To what do you attribute to the increased level of activity in your market as of late?

Kathryn Shafer: It's Los Angeles. For every “one” who moves to Tennessee, Austin, etc., there are two more who love Los Angeles and are moving here. Not just one-home families. LA is seeing multiple purchases for second-home properties. The glamour is here to stay. Once you fall in love with Los Angeles you never leave, or always want “one foot in”. Many of my clients who are leaving LA are not selling their properties. I assist in property management and long-term leasing.

HR: How do you see the luxury real estate market in LA going forward for the next few months?

KS: Demand is high in the Beverly Hills Post Office corridor to Sherman Oaks. From entry-level to trophy properties selling in Beverly Park Estates at 39 million. Private schools are aplenty, but BHPO and Sherman Oaks offer fantastic Los Angeles Unified School options. You don’t need to go private in Beverly Hills Post Office. The great elementary schools, [such as] LA Unified, are some of the best in Southern California.

HR: What has been a highlight sale for you so far in 2021?

KS: Working with a noted family out of Miami, my 2021 has been focused on getting their next generation settled into real estate. Both young adults are in the entertainment industry and are now just getting settled into a classic 1960 mid-century, and the other into a compound, both classic California living with pools and turn-key houses. Multiple offers are still commonplace in my markets, and proven strategies so far have been the winning formula to close the deals.
